Question

Is there a way to test air in your house for latex exposure?

Asked by

We have a child who has type 1 severe immediate breathing latex allergy. We have removed what we know may contain latex but he is still having problems. Is there any way to check for latex in items (like our carpet pads) and in the air of our home, since he does react from breathing the latex in the air?
